JVF sponsored three places at the LSE Women Entrepreneur Retreat in August 2023, which hosted 16 female founders for two days of educational events and peer mentorship.
The retreat was hosted by elleSE - the Female Founder Programme through Generate, the home for entrepreneurship at the London School of Economics.
Kajal Sanghrajka, former business partner and friend of Jess, served as JVF’s representative and hosted a fireside chat following her journey in entrepreneurship. As a continuation of this partnership, JVF sponsors a panel for the retreat members as well as the larger LSE female founder community to dig deeper on topics introduced during the offsite.
Jess was a mentor for LSE’s Generate Accelerator in 2020.
